Style: Tropical Bonkers

Format: 12"
Label: Not On Label

Year: 1999

Condition: M/M

Still sealed copy of Jiskefet's bonkers Maxi Single. "Amazing self-released 12" by the infamous Dutch comedian collective Jiskefet from the nineties. Two bizar eighties German crimi sounding tracks with equally bizar German text lines and composed with great electronic synths and musicality that would easily fit in any crazy Italo or Electro set. Well mastered and pressed on firm pink vinyl, highly recommended!" (stolen from a discogs review). Einen Tropical Drink, bitte!

DOLCE!!! Before Alec R. Costandinos produced all these continetal disco gems he recorded this wonderful album under the moniker Milton Di Sao Paulo. The whole thing was arranged by genious Ivan Jullien and sounds incredibly rich. South american tristeza meets balearic funk.

Year: 19??

Condition: NM/NM  

Half of the tracks of this amazing album here are Villa-Lobos compositions - Leaving enough playtime for some self-penned songs by Haberl and his comrad Hubert Waldner, who also plays flutes and saxophone. And then there are these wonderful vocals by some lady called D.B. One that will not only make collectors of italian 70s soundtracks cry. This beauty is out of this world!!

Format: LP
Label: Merlin (Private)

Year: 1991

One of the obscurest private DIY Pop records I came across in the last few years. Of course I got attracted by the beautiful combination of cover and title ;) Musically it's just as interesting: Soft but cynical Post Sade Synth-Pop with a boogie touch at times!

Label: Innovative Communication

Year: 1983

Condition: NM/VG+

Swedish Jazz-Funk on Klaus Schulze's label? Yep and it just can't go wrong..... Some very sensual Jazz-Funk that is and there's 3 very persuasive tracks that may give you shivers. One of them was played at a cocktail party by the pool last year and I got quite some ID requests for that track... maybe that's why it's pretty tough to come by now?

Balearic boogie meets the flying sexyphone at sundown - in Santa Barbara of course! If that wasn't enough there's also this speccial occasion to walk down California Street.

Style:  WONDERFUL

Format: LP
Label: Vondue (Private)

Year: 1988

This is one of my all time favourite records! Norbert Gottschalk's voice is the finest Germany has to offer. I even prefer him to Mark Murphy. Enough of the adulation and back to the facts. It's a private release so it's not available everywhere. And apart from being rare it's a wonderful album with 5 mindblowing tracks, 1 amazing track, 1 standard and a blues.....
